Questioning The "Slippery Slope": Ethical Beliefs And Behaviors Of Private Office-Based And Church-Based Therapists, Barrett W. Mcray, Mark R. Mcminn, Katheryn Rhoads Meek Jan 1998

Questioning The "Slippery Slope": Ethical Beliefs And Behaviors Of Private Office-Based And Church-Based Therapists, Barrett W. Mcray, Mark R. Mcminn, Katheryn Rhoads Meek

Faculty Publications - Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) Program

Counselors and other mental health professionals whose primary office is in a church building often face unique challenges in maintaining appropriate client-therapist boundaries. A sample of 497 Christian counselors responded to an 88-item survey of their ethical beliefs and behaviors. Of the respondents, 148 reported a church as their primary work setting and 162 reported a private office as their primary work setting. Survey results were factor analyzed, then church-based therapists were compared with private office-based therapists regarding their views of ethical behaviors. Although church-based therapists take greater liberties with multiple-role relationships than private office-based therapists, they appear similar with …

Survivability Of Noneconomic Damages For Tortious Death In Washington, Steve Andrews Jan 1998

Survivability Of Noneconomic Damages For Tortious Death In Washington, Steve Andrews

Seattle University Law Review

The focus of this Comment will be the 1993 amendment to Washington's general survival statute. In particular, the goal is to interpret how noneconomic damages for tortious death are to be treated under the new survival statute and to answer the question of what noneconomic damages are available to the victim's survivors. Because of Washington's complex statutory scheme, each of five potentially applicable statutes will be examined for available noneconomic damages, the survivability of these damages, the beneficiaries of the action, and possible duplication of damages. In answering these questions, this comment will also address the issue of survivability of …

Mastering Modern Constitutional Law, Thomas E. Baker Jan 1998

Mastering Modern Constitutional Law, Thomas E. Baker

Seattle University Law Review

Constitutional Law is “tough law.” It is tough to master – tough to teach and tough to learn. There are several reasons for this thorough difficulty. First, it is not an exaggeration to say that the fate of the nation is often at stake in constitutional cases and controversies, and constitutional decisions have shaped our history as a people. Second, we Americans can lay claim to inventing the field, and we have been continuously preoccupied with reinventing it for more than two centuries of applied political philosophy. Third, the Supreme Court is one of the most fascinating institutions inside or …

In Willful Disregard Of The Employment Security Act: Culpability And The Determination Of Disqualifying Misconduct By The Courts, James Levy Jan 1998

In Willful Disregard Of The Employment Security Act: Culpability And The Determination Of Disqualifying Misconduct By The Courts, James Levy

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment argues that the most appropriate test for applying the statutory definition of misconduct an objective test based on knowing disregard of the employer's interests by the employee, rather than any current interpretation of the definition by the courts of Washington. In Section One of this Comment, the policies behind the Employment Security Act and the ramifications of different culpability elements are discussed. Section Two details the different tests for misconduct generated by the courts. Part A of Section Two discusses the common law tests and their culpability elements prior to the 1993 statutory definition of misconduct. Part B …

A Learning Strategy For The Application Of Interpersonal Theories, William A. Ausmus Jan 1998

A Learning Strategy For The Application Of Interpersonal Theories, William A. Ausmus

Iowa Journal of Communication

Scientific theories are used primarily to predict and control. In that regard interpersonal theories are not very useful if applied to interpersonal relationships. But theories are also used to evaluate, describe, explain, and understand (Cragan & Shields, 1998). The learning project I describe is designed for students of interpersonal communication as they learn to use and apply interpersonal theories to their everyday relational interactions. The learning project consists of three components. 1. Students are asked to identify and describe an interpersonal communication problem. The problem is analyzed using interpersonal theories and a prescription/solution based in theory is also developed. 2. …

"The More Speeches I Gave, The Better It Got:" Reflections On Managing Highly Apprehensive Students, Marsha Clowers Jan 1998

"The More Speeches I Gave, The Better It Got:" Reflections On Managing Highly Apprehensive Students, Marsha Clowers

Iowa Journal of Communication

There is no singular method of immediately and permanently dispensing with anxiety about public communication. The pedagogical strategies described in this thought piece, however, when used in a receptive environment and combined with the essentials of public speaking training can, given time, help students appreciate the thrill of public speaking. In my experience, individual attention outside of class and constructive group criticism during class do much to ease highly apprehensive students. This narrative contains my reflections on working with just such a group.

Truth And Its Rivals In The Law Of Hearsay And Confrontation (Symposium: Truth And Its Rivals: Evidence Reform And The Goals Of Evidence Law)." , Richard D. Friedman Jan 1998

Truth And Its Rivals In The Law Of Hearsay And Confrontation (Symposium: Truth And Its Rivals: Evidence Reform And The Goals Of Evidence Law)." , Richard D. Friedman

Articles

In this paper, I will look at the problem of hearsay and confrontation through the lens offered by this symposium's theme of "truth and its rivals." I will ask: To what extent does the law of hearsay and confrontation aspire to achieve the goal of truth in litigation? To what extent does it, or should it, seek to achieve other goals, or to satisfy other constraints on the litigation system? And, given the ends that it seeks to achieve, what should the shape of the law in this area be? My principal conclusions are as follows: In most settings, the …

Reminiscences On Rhetoric: Jerry Rubin, Uni, And The Spring Of 1970, Terry J. Knapp Jan 1998

Reminiscences On Rhetoric: Jerry Rubin, Uni, And The Spring Of 1970, Terry J. Knapp

Iowa Journal of Communication

In the spring of 1970, radical political activist Jerry Rubin spoke at the University of Northern Iowa as a part of the Controversial Speakers Program. His speech was half rhetoric and half theater. It tested the limits of free expression and provided the occasion for risky, but courageous, actions by university officials. It made rural midwesterners confront an urban anarchist, and it remains as a reminder of a period when lengthy public addresses played an important role in the formation of public views, a time when the speech counted more than the spin.

Psychosocial And Sociocultural Factors Associated With Cross-Cultural Adaptability, Pamela Plunk Kerouac Jan 1998

Psychosocial And Sociocultural Factors Associated With Cross-Cultural Adaptability, Pamela Plunk Kerouac

UNF Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This survey study examined a set of psychosocial and sociocultural variables to determine if there were any significant group differences in responses to an instrument that measured crosscultural adaptability among urban high school teachers. A goal of this study was to evaluate the effects of sociocultural experience and the perceived coping efficacy measures of cross-cultural adaptability. This study sought insight into the relationship between teachers' previous experiences and their perceived instructional and cross-cultural efficacy. Using a survey research design that included a Personal Data Questionnaire and an instrument developed by Kelley and Meyers ( 1992), the Cross-Cultural Adaptability Inventory (CCAI), …

A Case For Procedural Justice Climate: Development And Test Of A Multilevel Model., Stefanie Elizabeth Naumann Jan 1998

A Case For Procedural Justice Climate: Development And Test Of A Multilevel Model., Stefanie Elizabeth Naumann

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

Current conceptualizations of procedural justice focus largely on individual perceptions; no framework exists for examining procedural justice's social context. This dissertation presents a model that identifies contextual factors contributing to procedural justice climate and, in turn, a variety of work-related attitudes and behaviors associated with procedural justice climate. In general, empirical tests on data collected from 220 employees of two banks offered support for the model. Employee perceptions of leader member exchange, organizational support, and supervisor monitoring were positively associated with individual procedural justice perceptions. Work group perceptions of cohesion and supervisor visibility in demonstrating procedural justice were associated with …

Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown Jan 1998

Student Loan Procurement: Exploring Its Linkages To Leadership, Diligence, And Post-Collegiate Behaviors., Thresa Arnita Nelson-Brown

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

With 50% of college attendees leaving college with student loan debt and the default rate of these loans dropping substantially, it may be time to turn our attention away from repayer-defaulter comparisons to look at loaner-non-loaner comparisons. This study addressed the research gaps in the student loans literature by linking leadership, diligence, and post-collegiate behaviors to loan procurement. Respondents in this study (n = 692) were examined and survey data was collected using abstracted versions of the Posner and Brodsky (1992) Leadership Practice Inventory, the Bernard (1991) Diligence Inventory, and an original demographic questionnaire. Leadership competencies, diligence competencies, post-collegiate behaviors, …

Beliefs And Practices Of Middle School Language Arts Teachers., Suzan Anderson Jan 1998

Beliefs And Practices Of Middle School Language Arts Teachers., Suzan Anderson

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this study is to examine the instructional beliefs and practices of middle school language arts teachers as they relate to developmental appropriate/inappropriate instruction. Developmentally appropriate instruction is defined as matching the curricula to the level of children's emerging mental abilities. If the learner is seen as a growing individual with developing abilities, then the aim of education should be to facilitate this development. This in turn means that the curricula must be studied and analyzed to determine that level of mental ability that is required to comprehend curriculum materials (Elkind, 1970). There is some concern that what …

Reference Price Effects: The Role Of Multiple Internal Reference Prices And Semantic Cues., Balaji Chandrasekaran Krishnan Jan 1998

Reference Price Effects: The Role Of Multiple Internal Reference Prices And Semantic Cues., Balaji Chandrasekaran Krishnan

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

The purpose of this dissertation is two fold. The first objective is to assess the effect of price promotion on consumers' evaluation of the value of the deal independent of the specific IRP used by consumers. Towards this end, a subjective measure called "perceived fairness of the offer price" is introduced in a model hypothesizing relations among transaction utility, acquisition utility, and perceived value of the deal. The proposed model was compared to an existing model designed to predict and explain perceived value of the deal using a survey-based methodology, in the first study. Results indicate that the proposed model …

Service Recovery's Influence On Complainant Attitudes And Intentions: A Perceived Justice Framework., James G. Maxham Iii Jan 1998

Service Recovery's Influence On Complainant Attitudes And Intentions: A Perceived Justice Framework., James G. Maxham Iii

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

I conducted two field studies (one in the banking industry, n = 692, and one in the new home industry, n = 339) that examined service recovery's influence on complainant perceptions of perceived justice (i.e., distributive, procedural, and interactional justice), satisfaction (i.e., transaction-specific satisfaction and overall firm satisfaction), and intentions (i.e., word-of-mouth intent and purchase intent). The studies assessed these perceptions over multiple time periods (i.e., post failure, post service recovery, and two weeks subsequent to service recovery) to better capture the perceptions as they form over time. The dissertation uses an equity theory framework in a service recovery context, …

Education For Liberation As (An) African-American Folk Theory., Denise Marie Taliaferro Jan 1998

Education For Liberation As (An) African-American Folk Theory., Denise Marie Taliaferro

LSU Historical Dissertations and Theses

African American people have historically expressed great faith in education as a path toward liberation. It is an idea--education for liberation--that is pervasive in African American discourse. It is well documented in research that focuses on the efforts of African Americans to educate themselves despite slavery, the fall of reconstruction, a brutal Jim Crow system, and desegregation in lieu of integration (Anderson, 1988; Lerner, 1972; Watkins, 1993). Yet despite our faithful proclamations, we have been represented otherwise in mainstream educational discourse. Intellectual inferiority, cultural deprivation, underachievement, and at-risk have been some of the terms used to explain the consistent and …
